Learn how to fashion home-built scout rifles from a variety of old military actions, from the 98 Mauser to Mosin-Nagant and the venerable Springfield. Each of the author's creations, built with common tools and easy-to-come-by parts, met most of the basic criteria for a scout/utility rifle yet cost him less than a quarter of what the commercial models would have. Ammo and shooting slings are covered in detail.
